Taft, the Great American
In 1987, Taft Broadcasting changed its name to Great American Broadcasting (or Great American Communications). In October 1989, David Kirschner was hired as the new president of Hanna-Barbera, to bring it back out from a state of being "moribund" as Hanna-Barbera hadn't had a hit since The Smurfs.

- A Scooby-Doo! Christmas (2002) There are few characters more recognizable in the history of television than Mystery Incorporated. These teenage mystery solvers with their own stereotypical personalities have been delighting children for generations.
- Christmas Comes to Pacland (1982) I didn't even know that there was a Pac-Man cartoon until I stumbled across this special a few years ago. It has quickly become one of my favorite Christmas cartoons because it oozes nostalgia, even though I never even watched it when I was a kid.
- It's a Flintstones Christmas (1977) There is a lot going on in this special, but it is all a means to an end. First, Wilma asks Fred to be Santa at a Christmas party and he refuses.
- A Christmas Story (1972) This is a delightful story punctuated by the fact that it is an original. Unlike most Christmas specials which retell Dickens or the birth of Christ, Hanna-Barbera went their own way with an original story about a mouse and a dog who are tasked with delivering a forgotten letter to Santa.
